(About the author)
 
     I've always liked logical games, brain teasers, etc., One favorite of mine, though, is too slow and lacks the ability to edit your own levels. Joe Logic is an emulation of this logical game. But Joe Logic is much faster and fully editable! And although the concept is the same, the graphics and the levels are all original. This game is really very addicting. There are 25 levels as of this submission and more are likely to follow. If you make your own levels and would like to share them, please drop me an email. I may add them here. Also, all solutions are included but I would challenge you to try to solve them first.

I got an error on this line: Open stFileName For Input As #1

Wow!
Thanks for the great compliments
and votes!

The cause of this error depends on when

Looks like I got truncated.

CovertLoop:
The cause of this error depends on
when it occurred.
stFilename is used to open theplay/solution text files.If you
are just playing, then Joe Logic
only opens "levels.joe"
If you are editting, appending and
saving, then these other files may
also be openned:
"singlelevel.tmp"
"levels.tmp"
"moves.tmp"
If Joe Logic can't find these files
then this error will occur.
Verify that they are there.
Also, be sure to open Joe Logic from its
directory. (double clicking)
If you open Joe Logic using
"file/open" from the VB IDE then
Joe Logic will not be looking for
these files in the right place.
I hope this helps.
If not please let me know.
Thanks! :o)

Visualcode,
Thanks for the nice compliments and vote!
I am almost finished with the sequel which will have
an all around much nicer format, especially in the editting.
You are right though, some programs which are clearly the product
of hard coding hours don't seem to fair as well as some
which might be of a lesser caliber.
It is too bad though, because I am sure
there are alot of good programmers out there
who may not be getting the recognition deserve,
hence are losing the initiative to volunteer
their hard coding hours for us. :o)

I got the file error upon startup. You might try the following for each of the open statement lines.

Open App.Path
